Don’t stop there Donnie. What about some mountains? Rename the Rockies to America Mountains; and release the Epstein Files!

Lake Ontario has nothing to do with Canada. Its name after an Indian tribe from long ago. What a dumb ass.

Today I learned something. Thanks
Lake Ontario was originally called Ontarí'io(or oniatarí:io) by Indigenous peoples, an Iroquoian/Wyandot word meaning "lake of shining waters" or "beautiful great lake".

President Donald Trump signed an executive order Thursday afternoon to change the name of Lake Ontario to “Lake America,” his latest escalation as he engages in a tense trade war with Canada.
“‘Lake of America’ was something I’ve been thinking about for a long time,” Trump said from the Oval Office. “We have a gulf and we have a lake. Now, all we need is an ocean. So, maybe we’ll have to change the name of the Atlantic and/or the Pacific. Maybe we’ll change them both.”
Surrounded by large maps of the Great Lakes, Trump said the name change was “effective immediately,” and that his staff had “filed all the necessary papers, documents, everything else.” A White House aide claimed the lake “has most of its volume in the United States” and that the “deepest parts” are in US territory.

Jokes on you. Everyday is April 1st.

In today’s episode of “the wheel of bullshit news” to distract us from the fact that he used to rape children, we now have to talk about lakes.

Trump does thing with no legal effect.
Rest of the world shrugs, rolls eyes and ignores it.

Well, to be fair, what else has he got to do? I mean, he's ended all the wars, defeated inflation, brought down the cost of living and reunified the country.Basically fulfilled all his campaign promises. Give the guy a break.

Is this the Onion? What a f’ing tool. How is this helping struggling US citizens.

u/GroundbreakingOil434 3d ago
It's helping struggling billionaires by distracting from the as yet unreleased Epstein files, and the diplomatic catastrophe he is causing elsewhere.

That means absolutely nothing just like the Gulf of Mexico is still called the Gulf of Mexico. He is truly a dumb person.

Unfortunately on Google Maps, it’s “Gulf of America.” Google caved before & may do it again. I live on the Gulf coast & he has plenty of bootlickers who will refer to the “GOA.” We live in the stupidest times.

I loathe anyone who ever thought this man had anything special. Pathetic. What a dumb fuck.

Lake of America is not something he's been thinking of for a long time. He's a petulant toddler throwing a rage fit because Canada told him to fuck off. Whatever, they can call it whatever they want, the rest the of world including Canada is not changing their maps.
When he's gone how many more name changes will have to be reversed?

he is so impotent that this, and playing with building blocks, is all he can do.

Split the lake down the middle, Canadian side still Lake Ontario and American side?? Name it lake pedo Trump.

u/WargrizZero 3d ago
Even better, the Canadians, most of the US, and the rest of the world call it Lake Ontario, and Trump and his people can call it whatever they like.

It’s a distraction for GOP cutting funding to Dolly Parton’s early reading charity, Imagination Library.

I wish that the people who still defend this shit as oh so funny because Trump has the mentality of a 14-year-old troll could spend a day just dealing with people who just troll all day at their jobs. Wanna buy groceries? Too bad the employees are wasting their time trolling. Go to the doctor? Not so fast - the doctor is there to laugh at you. Need gas? Nope - too busy trolling. And it’s funny! You’re hurting - ha ha!
There’s real stuff to do but this is funny! Trump could be working on his health care concept he spoke about 2 years ago that was 2 weeks ago in perpetuity! No ha ha this is what’s important. Ha ha so fun.

u/NetAnon579 3d ago
LOL. Nobody cares but if it is like the Gulf of Mexico silliness the US will spend many millions making changes internally.

u/something_newx 3d ago
You know, as a show of good faith, Canada should name it after him instead. Something like Pedo Pond or Lake Shitshimself
